I have made one of her patterns and won't do it again because you have to commit at the beginning to the fabrics and color scheme you want to use. That doesn't work very well for me. After making a block or two I will think I should have used a different value or color here or there and then you're stuck with yards and yards of fabric you have already pre-cut.Anyway your block is very nice. Will ve fun to see it progress.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-34026945279120824722017-03-25T14:11:10.656-04:002017-03-25T14:11:10.656-04:00So interesting to follow your thoughts as you work...So interesting to follow your thoughts as you work out the colour scheme.

Good thing you kept coloring and planning.

The new centre is just great - both striking and harmonious. So great that you have the patience to try it out with pencils. It's on the way to being fantastic.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-17923315735654396252017-03-19T09:27:36.132-04:002017-03-19T09:27:36.132-04:00I struggle with colour choices and buy fabric for ...I struggle with colour choices and buy fabric for one then another then some extra just in case . . .

A reflection of my state of mind, quite possibly! Thank you! It all supports my theory that in art & design, the inner voice is better than the outer voices. :DMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-75308820853318832332017-03-19T08:15:58.044-04:002017-03-19T08:15:58.044-04:00It is always interesting to watch people create an...It is always interesting to watch people create and see how they choose their palette. I'm so impressed you can work with colored pencils and translate that to fabric. I always have to use greyscale then just set fabrics next to each other. Your way looks such fun.

(I like Hippie Tie Dye too...;-) ) Glad you are moving forward on this and have a renewed excitement. <br /><br />Glad mentioned about red pointing in on the bed - I'll avoid that in my future bed quilts...maybe there are other feng shui quilty reasons why I have bad dreams and talk in my sleep and never feel like I get a good night's rest!!
